Dragons last game at WIN for 2002

Saints have named a side almost identical to one that went down narrowly to the Northern Eagles last weekend. The Dragons surrendered a four point lead following a series of errors inside their own ten metre line which gave the Eagles an opportunity to snatch a 20-18 victory in the dying minutes.

The loss saw Saints fall three points adrift of the top eight and now must rely on results from other matches if they are to make the cut come semi-finals time in September.

There is some speculation that stand-in fullback Jason Kent, who this week announced that he will be playing with the Sharks in 2003, may be dropped to make way for halfback Willie Peters in the starting lineup with Ben Hornby moving to fullback.
